Changed the title of the thread, just to give viewers a better idea at what the thread contains. Nothing confirmed yet from ArenaNet but very interesting news. I imagine we'll hear nothing tonight on it, probaby first thing tomorrow.

She's a ranger with shorter range and the stealth skill that was removed from our rangers!

Apparently, some folks only look at pictures, and not the actual words accompanying them

States right in the article she was given two swords, a long and short sword.

^^ That's great... most characters carry 4

Although could this mean they finally found a use for the Gladius?

On top of that, wtf slade, upload that bloody video already >:

I swear to god, if they introduce an Assassin into the game, I'll quit GW forever. Please GW, don't sell out.

neoteo · Nov 15, 2005, 03:54 AM // 03:54

a way to possibly put in a stealth move w/o making it too cheap is to make it so the marker on the minimap of that person dissappeared. i know when i fite in pvp i look at the minimap alot to see where enemie players are. though it would only be good in pvp. cant figure out how to make it work in pve... but its an idea. any suggestions on how to implement a stealh move in pve?

neoteo · Nov 15, 2005, 04:24 AM // 04:24

stealh ?we dont even have a walk option

anyway - could desapear from minimap for like 5 to 10 sec ... mobs would not atack ... this would made this babys hell of good runners , hiding stealh style.

cool ideia

the theme assassin doesnt fit me also tho .. should be something more medieval , assassin reminds of someone with a sniper rifle right there.

Lol. A gladius is only a light off-hand weapon, which only gives a -2 penalty to both attacks.

What video? o_o

It is funny how people get so worked up about assassins/rogues/thieves/ninja's etc. I suppose these professions must have messed up some other MMORPGS pretty badly...

Not having played any of these, I cannot see the big problem with assassins. Also, having played GW, I am pretty condident about Anet's ability to make any new class they introduce both balanced, different and fun. They managed to make all other classes pretty balanced and unique, or so most people think (please do not get into that discussion), so why not a new profession with sneak and dual wield skills? I am sure that they will playtest that class very well and I am sure it will have it's uses without being UBER or something like that. (Though I am sure many will claim any new class is UBER or completely useless, no matter what it is and can do, that it is just the way people are).

To me, an assassin sounds like fun. Killing the guild lord with a sneak attack should not become too easy, though.

Looks like this cinches it. I wonder if it'll be the only new profession...

Inde, you may want to change the title again to "Confirmed 1st New Class Information from Chapter 2: The Assassin."

Daegul Mistweaver · Nov 15, 2005, 06:30 AM // 06:30

Implimentation of stealth in PvE is pretty simple: just reduce the agro circle. Removing the blip from the radar seems like something plausable for PvP, but then I don't PvP; long as they don't impliment true invis-style stealth everything should be fine.

What I really wonder about, personally, is wether there will be an option to change primary class to one of the new professions somehow. Would hate to have to start over my main character (now a ranger) to make him over as an assassin (haven't bought FoW armor yet, but still....).

We were happy to have them premiere the concept art (which I happen to think is absolutely lovely) and the lore and other info present in this issue. I don't have a copy in my mitts yet, but I'm eager to see it!

Wow, how... uninventive. I guess the voice of one thousand 14 year olds posting Paladin, Assassin and Engineer ideas can't be wrong.

I'm quite dissapointed. Then again, I've never been impressed by GW's originality. It's like the archetypical king of gaming.
